The Gender, Race, Sexuality and Social Justice PhD program offers an interdisciplinary approach, enabling students to investigate various topics through feminist, intersectional, and decolonizing frameworks. Designed with adaptability in mind, it caters to each student's unique academic requirements.
This interdisciplinary doctoral program encourages scholars to examine diverse subjects using feminist, intersectional, and decolonizing approaches. Currently hosting 20 resident students, the program typically receives 60-70 applications annually and admits approximately four new candidates each year.
Graduate students collaborate with the Institute's core faculty for supervision and committee participation, with the option to include faculty associates. Note that only faculty members holding assistant, associate, or full professor positions may supervise graduate students. While securing a supervisor beforehand isn't mandatory, we recommend early contact with potential advisors to sharpen your research direction and explore additional doctoral opportunities.
